I have found that my 2008 Pathfinder is not very stable when towing my 19 foot fishing boat. I towed this boat and trailer for years with a 1994 Chevy Blazer and it was very stable. The pathfinder suspension just seems to move around alot and the boat doesn't stay stable when following. Does anyone know of suppliers that can supply beefier springs, shocks and maybe sway bars for this Pathfinder. Thanks Dave.

I think people have recommended the airlift kits for heavier loads. Look in the How-to sticky.

An Air Lift kit works wonders - I installed this one on my QX4 http://amzn.to/29HAtIf - just towed a 5k lb load 100 miles on the highway with no problems. (I wouldn't pull that kind of load regularly with one of these trucks, but for a one-off move it worked very well).
